Accounting-Request Attributes
The following attributes appear in Accounting-Request packets sent from the port server.
Acct-Session-Id
Attribute Type
Data Type
Length
RADIUS defined
String (ASCII)
0-48 chars
A unique ASCII string that identifies the session. An example Session Id string:
78967f9a89164bb1b43132dec73d45fe.
FB-Called-Number-Result
Attribute Type
Data Type
Length
FaxBack vendor-specific
Integer
4 bytes
The FB-Called-Number-Result attribute will only appear in Accounting Stop requests. It will only
appear when the sent fax session ended successfully, or ended with a fax error (an error that
occurred after the fax protocol was successfully engaged) or ended with a voice answering the
call. This attribute will not appear for other errors, such as telephony, media gateway, or server
errors.
If the RADIUS server is managing a Called Numbers database, then the presence of this attribute
in an Accounting Stop request should be used to detect that the Called Numbers database should
be updated for the FB-Dial-Number that is included in the same request.
A result of Success or FaxError (despite being an error) should be considered as evidence that a
fax machine was contacted at the FB-Dial-Number. A result of VoiceError should be regarded as
evidence that the FB-Dial-Number is potentially a wrong number, or possibly a shared voice/fax
number, where it is likely that a voice will answer the call on a subsequent fax send to the same
number.
